Slavery. It’s the sin some evangelical Christians just can’t – or won’t – let go of. In this episode of the Just Thinking broadcast, Darrell and Virgil discuss the ‘Report on Racism & Slavery in the History of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary’ recently released by the under the signature of its president Dr. R. Albert Mohler. In the report, Dr. Mohler acknowledges, confesses, and repents of the complicity of SBTS in fostering a culture of racism in America. But the report isn’t enough for many evangelical social justicians who describe it merely as a “good first step.”

A divorced mother in Texas is forcing her 6-year old son to identify as transgender, to the utter dismay and disagreement of the boy’s biological father. The mother has also stated her intention to have the boy chemically castrated when he turns eight. In this extended episode of the Just Thinking broadcast, Darrell and Virgil dig deep into this disheartening situation and discuss the myriad implications and ramifications of this mother’s sinful defiance of God through the biblical lens of the imago Dei.

Parental discretion is strongly advised.

History was almost made recently in the race for governor of Georgia, where the Democrat party nominee Stacey Abrams, a black female, came within less than three percentage points of defeating Republican nominee Brian Kemp, a white male. Apparently, Abrams’ defeat did not set well with many black Democrats, especially when it was revealed that 11 percent of black males supported Kemp. But why would such a thing be seen as problematic to black people? Do they not have the right to vote for the candidate(s) of their choosing? Listen in as Darrell and Omaha (Virgil Walker) discuss through the lens of the gospel why this intra-ethnic form of ideological slavery must come to an end – now.

This week’s episode of the Just Thinking broadcast concludes our look at the Ligonier Ministries 2018 ‘State of Theology’ survey, as Darrell and “Omaha” (Virgil) unpack Statement 30 of the survey, “Religious belief is a matter of personal opinion; it is not about objective truth.” Listen in as the brothers open the Word of God and discuss why the 60 percent who affirmed this statement are missing the larger question, one that Pontius Pilate asked thousands of years ago.

Recently, Ligonier Ministries released its 2018 ‘State of Theology’ survey, which it conducted in partnership with Lifeway Research (an initial survey was conducted in 2016). To describe the results of the survey as a disheartening reflection of the condition of the evangelical church in America today would be a gross understatement. So disheartening, in fact, that Darrell and ‘Omaha’ (Virgil Walker) have decided to dedicate the next several episode of the Just Thinking broadcast to a discussion of the responses contained in the survey. Listen in as the brothers share their initial thoughts on what the survey says many Americans believe about the deity and nature of Jesus Christ.

This week Omaha (Virgil Walker) fly solo. As he examine the atrocities committed by Kermit Gosnell and the movie that bears his name, we recognize a complete media blackout continues. The story of “America’s Biggest Serial Killer” seems to be completely silenced again as a Top 10 movie is being taken down from major screens around the country. Why is this happening? What would cause a profitable movie to get silence? Listen, as we will examine these issues through the lens of a Biblical Worldview to see what Scripture has to say about what’s happening today.

Key texts: Gen 1:26-27; Romans 1:18-23; John 15:18; Romans 6:23; Romans 10:9-10

Recording artist and entrepreneur Kanye West made news – again – recently when he met with President Donald Trump at the White House. But some are asking: why would this make news to begin with? Good question. Why is it considered taboo in some ethnic circles for a black person, like West, to independently form and express political views that are different from other black people, many of whom believe he is obligated to represent because of his ethnicity? Another good question. Listen as Darrell and ‘Omaha’ (Virgil Walker) deal with these and other questions through the lens of Scripture.

Key texts: Gen. 1:27; 1 Cor. 12:18, 24-27 (also Jn. 4:40-42, 6:66-69).
